I have retested with the following: mesh1: ath5k nohwcrypt=1 mesh2: ath5k (no IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT) Result: Both of them are not able to ping each other. Also, the PREP action frame is not able to decrypted by another node. mesh1: ath5k nohwcrypt=1 mesh2: ath5k nohwcrypt=1 Result: They are able to ping each other. mesh1: ath5k nohwcrypt=1 mesh2: ath5k (with IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT) Result: They are able to ping each other mesh1: mesh2I also try to enable back the IEEE80211_KEY_FLAG_SW_MGMT flags. Also it does not work. So can we conclude that hardware encryption is not working for both robust unicast management frame and also unicast data frame? Please advice.
